Popliteal artery aneurysms are the most common aneurysms of the peripheral artery. They are true aneurysms, and their pathogenesis is related to the mechanical degradation of the tunica media by immune cells and the anatomic location of the popliteal artery at a high flexion point behind the knee. This activity reviews popliteal artery aneurysms, including anatomy, physiology, indications, and contraindications to repair. It covers the equipment and techniques needed for open and endovascular repair. It also highlights the role of the interprofessional team in treating patients who undergo either open or endovascular popliteal artery aneurysm repair.
